our mission
naturally inspired art & dance
Originally conceived as a home for the art and dance of Jaidra DuRant, niad has become so much more. We strive to make a space where art and nature intertwine and access to unlocking your curiosity and creativity is truly available for all to experience. Through sliding scale community classes, inclusive and open performances, creativity salons, and events, nature walks, and more we are working to connect the natural world with visual arts, dance, music, and creativity as accessible part of the everyday life of anyone in our community.
​
Niad is not confined to a single space. Rather, we teach, perform, and host events across the upstate and beyond. Join our newsletter and follow us on social media to stay up to date!
The Art of Jaidra DuRant
The naturally inspired art of Jaidra DuRant is still an important piece of the niad story. Jaidra is a multi-disciplinary artist whose current primary focus is nature based acrylic painting.
